And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation;

how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation.

Look these facts in the face. If any man is fully persuaded as regards himself that he belongs to Christ, let him consider again with himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also am I.

Let such a man assure himself that my actions, when I am present, will be just like my words in my letters when I am absent.

No wonder! for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.
